The boss had no choice but to explain to his elder brother in plain English, "I want to ask you how much you want to sell this pot for."
"Then just ask directly and ask for a price..."
The elder brother muttered before saying, "I bought this pot from someone else. He said it was from the Later Tang Dynasty, so I wanted to find someone knowledgeable to show it to..."
The number of times the boss was helpless at this moment was almost reaching the quota for a week. He scratched his head and said, "Aren't you here to sell things?"
"Why not sell it? If the price is good, I will definitely sell it!"
The boss asked the eldest brother to stop it. There are rules in the antique shop, and generally they will not tear down the peers.
Even if someone buys something and takes it to someone else's house to inquire about it, the other person's boss will say that the thing is good, congratulations on finding a treasure, etc., but will not appraise it at all.
You've already bought something, and you can't return it even if it's a fake. Why bother to offend someone and ruin the buyer's mood?
Of course, there are fewer and fewer businessmen who abide by the rules. Some people are eager to tell the truth as false and ruin the reputation of their peers.
But this street stall owner obviously belongs to the type who abides by the rules. He returned the backflow pot to the middle-aged brother and said with a smile, "I don't know much about this kind of treasure. I suggest you go to a professional appraisal agency to have a look."
The middle-aged brother obviously didn't believe this excuse, "Boss, just be honest. I didn't buy the thing from you, and I won't blackmail you. In this way, you just need to tell me which dynasty this thing is from, and what market Whatever the price is, I’ll buy your pot.”
The middle-aged brother was referring to the pastel flower pot from the Republic of China. Unexpectedly, the boss still didn't let go, "Brother, I really don't think so. Why don't you ask someone else?"
"Why are you so stubborn? Can you do business like this?" The eldest brother asked anxiously, "What dynasty does this pot of yours come from? How much does it cost?"
The boss changed his previous enthusiasm and changed his words, "This is white porcelain imitating the Qing Dynasty in the Republic of China. The pastels on it were painted later. If you really like it, I can give you a satisfactory price."
"How does your pot compare with mine?"
The boss smiled and said, "That's definitely not as good as yours."
The middle-aged brother shook his head, said "I'm sick", and turned around to leave.
The boss's operation is difficult for treasure friends to see.
"What does this mean? You don't do any business that comes to your lips?"
"That's right, this big brother is obviously a novice, and the street stall owner is so conscientious? He won't lie to novices?"
He Ren glanced at Wei Ruixiang and said, "Boss Wei, how about you explain it to me?"
Wei Ruixiang cleared his throat, "Because the boss doesn't want to cause trouble. The big brother just now is obviously not here to buy anything. He wants the boss to be his witness. It won't be clear when the time comes."
The treasure friends still didn't understand, "What's not clear about this? One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer."
Wei Ruixiang explained, "You think the problem is too simplistic. The elder brother probably felt that what he bought was not worth it, so he acted a show. If the boss sells his pot to the elder brother, he is taking advantage of him. You have to tell the truth. When the big brother comes to visit, the store that sells his backflow pot will hate the boss and think that the trouble was caused by the boss's talk. Isn't that clear? "
"Acting? How do you know that eldest brother is acting?"
Wei Ruixiang was happy, "Even if the eldest brother is a novice and doesn't understand history, won't he look it up? What era is it now? Who doesn't have a smartphone? If it is really a backflow pot from the Later Tang Dynasty, even if it is from a folk kiln, it is at least worth it. Hundreds of thousands, such a precious treasure, as for asking whether the Later Tang Dynasty was after the Tang Dynasty?"
"hiss."
Everyone gasped, including He Ren.
He Ren only thought that his boss was afraid of trouble, but he didn't expect that his eldest brother was acting.
You have to be an old fox like Wei Ruixiang, who is well-informed. He Ren only has solid theoretical knowledge, and there are plug-ins. He still needs to learn more about looking at people...
The boss gave a thumbs up, obviously agreeing with Wei Ruixiang's analysis, "Isn't this an expert in the industry too?"
Wei Ruixiang smiled and said, "Those who are passing by, come and learn more."
As soon as these words came out, the boss relaxed a lot and complained, "That person just now seemed difficult to deal with. It's better not to do this kind of business. If he feels that he has suffered a loss, he will rely on you." , it might even overturn the stall."
He Ren nodded secretly, this is really what happened.
If you are an expert, even if you get an eye shot, you will only break your teeth and swallow them in your stomach. But things are different for newbies like this. If they are reasonable, they can at least give them a sweet spot or refund some money, and they can settle the matter.
What I fear the most is that they will mess around and get into a fight if they don't agree. When the time comes, the rules will be broken and the business will be broken. It is better not to do business with these people in the first place.
"Yes." Wei Ruixiang also sighed, "In fact, it is very difficult to do business with novices. Boss, why don't you remind your colleagues?"
"Holy shit, I forgot about it."
The boss quickly took out his mobile phone and started typing frantically. If there was no sworn enemy in the antique shop, they would always communicate with each other and make a favor first when encountering this kind of thing.
After a few minutes, the boss breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The person has been found and we are ready to refund the money."
Treasure friends are naturally more concerned about the value of the backflow pot.
He Ren explained, "In the Yongzheng period, the price for a folk kiln was at most 50,000 yuan. If you buy it according to the later Tang Dynasty, it would be at least 500,000 yuan."
The treasure friends were also shocked. This is a bit unethical. At least using an imitation of the Tang Dynasty to deceive people. It is a bit too ungrateful to directly use Yongzheng's to deceive people.
The boss glanced at He Ren. He thought He Ren was Wei Ruixiang's follower, but he didn't expect that the price was quite accurate when he opened the door.
"Brother, are you doing a live broadcast? Do you make money?"
He Ren was happy. It seemed that his fame had not spread yet and he still had to work hard. But that’s fine. If all the street stall owners knew him, how could he still pick up the slack?
"It's just for fun. I am an entertainment anchor. I usually chat with my friends and then browse the street stalls to pick up things. I happen to be here to do some work these days, so I stopped by to take a look."
The boss was also happy, "Then you've come to the right place. I don't dare to mention anything else in this stall, but there must be real things. Since you are an insider, I won't introduce you. It's all about my eyesight. Look at you. If you can find the leak, I will give you a discount then."
The treasure friends sighed sadly.
"Boss, why did you fall for it yourself?"
"Anchor, this boss is not the shill you are looking for, right?"
"The brother who went to catch the anchor offline has not arrived yet. Stop the boss quickly. He is seeking his own death."
He Ren was extremely happy. This was the first time he heard such a request. In this case, he would teach the young boss a lesson today no matter what.
But He Ren can't blindly do it. He must pay attention to strategy. The most important thing about pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is not to eat the tiger, but to pretend to be a pig.
He Ren greeted, "Xiao Nuo, Feizi, you guys come here to pick out one piece each. I'll pay for it today. Brother Wei and Brother Zhou, you two are much richer, so I won't care."
